    I personally *strongly* feel that the only "code of conduct" that
    should apply is to avoid false pretense, e.g. don't claim mail is to
    be kept private if it isn't (this also falls under the heading of the
    Electronic Communications Privacy Act).  Beyond that, the ONLY law
    that applies is that whomever provides the resources control the use.
    If I donate CPU time to run a MOO, I expect that MOO to be run under
    conditions that I approve of.  I *did* once run a MOO actively.  I
    closed it down when I found one of the wizards had been violating
    those conditions by entering back doors into the system.  I was very
    bitter about this, and I still am.
